ROSGEO will perform the first stage of drilling the deep Novoyakimovskaya-1 parametric well.  The underlying state contract was signed between the holding and the Central Siberian District Department of Subsoil Resource Management.

 

The project objective is to study the deep geological structure of the Jurassic-Cretaceous deposits of the western part of the Yenisei-Khatanga downfold and to obtain a complex of geological, geophysical and geochemical parameters. This will help to evaluate the prospects of the Agapskaya potential oil and gas bearing area.

 

The well location is the Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets Municipal District of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the right bank of the Pyasina river. Its target depth is 5,000 m; the target horizon is the Middle Jurassic. It is planned to drill to 1,600 m at the first stage.

 

Specialists will have to develop a feasibility study and a permit-to-work package, obtain a comprehensive lithologic and stratigraphic, geophysical, petrophysical, geochemical characteristics of the well penetrated section, study the permeability properties of rocks and evaluate the degree of their saturation based on the results of an integrated interpretation of well logging data. A comprehensive study of the organic material scattered in the rock will be performed, a systematized array of geological and geophysical information will be created, technical and technological conditions will be provided to reach to a depth of 5,000 m.

 

In the framework of the project, laboratory and analytical studies of core and cuttings, including mass, as well as detailed lithologic, petrographic, biostratigraphic, geochemical, petrophysical (by core) and physiogeochemical (by formation fluids) studies will be carried out.

 

The final geological report is planned to be completed by the end of 2019.
